Train Ride

Lydia has been pretty interested in trains lately..all big trucks on the highway are Choo-Choo's. This is a love that she shares with her Poppi. He has rode all the local train except for the one that just reopened in Elkins. So off to Elkins we went on Saturday. (We only got to go that day because they had a group cancel)
Does she look super impressed or what?! Dad decided to make some weird noise and scared her half to death...then she would not let go of him.
Here she is picking out and wearing one of her 10 toys she brought home from the gift shop. They tell you to come early..I sure so you will shop since there is nothing else to do.

Here is our big girl sitting in her chair on the ride.

Half way up they let you get off and go see some falls. I was glad to get out even if it was raining a little. Lydia needed to stretch her legs.

Family shot in front of the falls.

Uncle Vince taking her on the rocks.

After a while (this was a 4 hour trip, again it was the only one we could get one) Lydia did get bored and start to act up a little. That is what is nice with traveling with the whole crew, we all took turns entertaining her.

Until the adults start falling asleep too!

UPDATE, Cinderella's prince came through...I think he was a custodian or something but they found her shoe. I went and picked it up after work yesterday. Also our little big girl did great in her big girl bed in her big girl room! It is not decorated or anything yet because I was not planning on putting her in there until Christmas but after yesterday's acrobatic performance, it was pushed up a little. She was scared when we first put her down and kept asking for me. So I did go in there and sit by her bed. She stayed in bed quietly and fell asleep in about 10 minutes. She stayed in there all night. I had hoped that she would sleep in a little when she did not hear my alarm clock but no luck. When I went down at 6:30 to eat, I heard her in there talking. When I opened the door she was standing in the middle of her room. I know she had not been up long because I set up the baby monitor so I could hear her last night. I think it was harder on me not having my baby in her baby bed than it was for Lydia!!
